HOLLYWOOD SPOTLIGHT
Hollywood Spotlight was a syndicated musical series consisting of 39 episodes, all of which were recorded in 1937 according to historical records. The series was produced by Bruce Eels and the Radio Transcription Company, or Transco. The first episodes were released to stations before the end of the year. Cliff Howell served as Master of Ceremonies for the series under the name “Tom Jeffrey.” Notably the program featured Phil Harris and his orchestra who had joined Jack Benny’s program just the year before. Other well-known performers who appeared on multiple episodes include Bob Burns, Don Wilson, and Larry Burke. The series should not be confused with a mid-1940s series of the same name.

OTRR Definitions:
OTRR Maintained Set -- This set contains all known episodes in the best available audio condition with the most accurate dates and titles known to be in general circulation and based on current research at the time of release. Replaces OTRR Certified Accurate and OTRR Certified Complete.
OTRR Non-Maintained Set -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Maintenance process.
OTRR Curated Set -- A series or set of shows that has received a level of proofing and review that is greater than most material in the Old Time Radio Researchers' library, but not as high a level as our Maintained sets.
Pre-2019 OTRR Definitions:
OTRR Certified Accurate -- A series that was "Certified Accurate" indicated that all the episodes were properly identified and labeled based on current information but that the series did not contain all known extant episodes.
OTRR Certified Complete -- A series that was "Certified Complete" achieved the highest level of certification available under the OTRR Certified Standards. This certification level implied that all the files in the series were "Certified Accurate" and also indicated that the series was as complete as possible and included all circulating episodes.
OTRR Non-Certified -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Certification process.
Also, beginning in 2019, the version numbers of our OTRR releases changed format -- instead of v1.0 or v2.1, we are now using a version number that reflects the year and month the set was released. The format used is a two-digit year followed by a two-digit month. For example, "v1906" indicates a set that was released in June 2019, or "v1910" indicates a set released in October 2019.
NOTE: There are no passwords for any of our ZIP files. If you are prompted for a password, before downloading the file again, try unzipping the file into a shorter full folder path name -- for example, unzip to "C:\" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\your_Windows_ID\some_other_folder\". Sorry, some of our releases contain long folder and file names, which sometimes manifests itself on the Windows platform as prompting for a password for the ZIP file. Or try renaming the ZIP file itself to a shorter name before unzipping.
